To travel 100km, a scooter uses up 24.710kg of fuel (fuel is composed of octane : C8H18)
Calculate the volume of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere for a journey : Paris - Marseille : 900km
Please help, I need this to revise for important exams coming up, if you prefer to answer by email : ilian.scott@laposte.net , thanks

Hello
Find number of moles C:
24.71 kg = 24710 g = 24710/114 = 216.75 moles C8H18 = 8*216.75 moles C = 1734 moles C
= 1734 moles CO2.
Assuming 0°C and 1 atm pressure, 1734 moles CO2 = 22.4*1734 L = 41 617 L CO2 = 41.617 m^3 CO2/100 km = 9*41.671 = 374.551 m^3 for Paris-Marseille
